B.A.C. Artist Series KC Model Trombone (Kansas City) ~ Lightly Used Demo Model! ~ GREAT CONDITION
Model
KC Model
Description
The Kansas City Model trombone was designed to provide musicians with a full bodied robust sound. Featuring a yellow brass bell section, this instrument is the brightest most responsive instrument in our Artist Series arsenal. The wide (.500") Nickel slide provides an incredibly flexible and free blowing feel. The KC Model is ideal for lead musicians wanting something nimble, yet with a smooth warm presence. This instrument would be considered a medium-heavy weight trombone, which enhances the carrying power. The brush finish and hand engraved bell provide a stunning attention grabbing look. The specially formulated thin lacquer provides an option to facilitate the responsive and vibrant characteristics of an un-lacquered instrument while still serving as protection for the attractive ascetics.
Condition
This trombone is in really good condition. There is no major damage or signs of damage. The slide is dry and moves freely but does have a scratching sound. This is a player!
History
The history of B.A.C. starts right here with the eBay account presenting to you this item. The founder, Mike Corrigan, had attended the most reputable musical instrument repair school in the world in Red Wing, Minnesota, before pursuing instrument manufacturing with a small boutique trombone manufacturer in the Boston, MA area in 2000. Following the September, 11 attacks in 2001, his hours were cut back, and several employees were laid off, forcing Corrigan to turn his childhood passion for collecting antique and vintage instruments as a child into a business. This very eBay account was established in the days after his hours were cut back, and that was essentially the beginning of what has become one of the most respected companies in the business among professional musicians around the world.

Conclusion
A Special letter from our President and Founder:
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our auctions! The story of my company starts right here with this eBay account, nearly 20 years ago. On September 11th, 2001 the United States was attacked, and the world changed seemingly overnight. At the time, I was a young craftsman who had just a year earlier graduated from the most reputable musical instrument repair program in the world, Minnesota State College, in Red Wing, MN. I had taken a position as an Apprentice with a premiere Custom Trombone manufacture in the Boston, MA area. While I was fortunate enough to keep my job after a series of layoffs that came after the attacks, my hours were drastically cut back to 15 hours a week. Driven by the necessity to put food on the table I engaged the passion I had for vintage musical instruments, and the skills I had learned into my own business. If you’ll notice the date when this eBay account was started, (Sept. 28, 2001) is a snapshot in time, when my life changed, and I started to realize an amazing opportunity in life that has become something truly remarkable. I have always enjoyed finding quality instruments, properly servicing and conditioning them, and making them available here to the eBay community.
As we prepare to serve the eBay community with our 20th year of service, we want to say thank you for allowing us to serve you! Thank you for your trust. Thank you for allowing us to do what we love! We are blessed to have grown into the company we are today. I am so proud to be surrounded by a team of such exceptional and dedicated people that make this company run.

Sincerely, Michael T. Corrigan Founder/President B.A.C. Horn Doctor LLC
Terms
We appreciate you taking the time to read all of our terms prior to bidding. We WILL accept international bidding. Shipping Cost is factored into the eBay system and automatically calculated. YES, we do ship internationally. Please refer to the internal eBay system. We use the Global Shipping System. If you have any additional questions, or concerns involving shipping, you must contact us before the close of the auction. We have 20 years of experience shipping high-value musical instruments internationally, so bid with confidence. RETURN POLICY: All instruments are sold as-is and we will only issue returns if the instrument was damaged during shipping or if the instrument was grossly misrepresented in its descriptions and pictures. If the instrument is damaged in shipping, you will need to file a claim with our preferred shipping company, and it is imperative that you process the insurance requirements properly. (i.e. keeping all of the original packagings for inspection, etc.) Failure to do so will jeopardize any insurance claim for us and will void our ability to issue a refund. We will also only accept returns if it is within 7 days of receipt of the instrument and if authorized by a B.A.C. Representative. If you have any questions about our policy please feel free to contact us. CUSTOMS POLICY: Please do not ask us to commit Customs Fraud -- we WILL NOT alter any of our shipping paperwork or monetary receipts for the purpose of evading or minimizing international import taxes. We encourage you to build any customs and taxes into your high bid. (for example, if your budget is 0 and it will cost to import that item, please bid 5 knowing that the rest of your budget will go toward the import of the item.) Again, we have an excellent feedback rating. We have one of the best ratings in the eBay community for accurate descriptions -- we go the extra mile taking many high-resolution photos to win your confidence in our description. If there are any questions at all, please do not hesitate to use the "Question and Answer" feature attached to this listing prior to bidding.
